Really loved this talk from Mark - thanks so much for sharing. Can't help but be frustruted by how he seemed to be widely misunderstood by those in the room though, just given the questions and comments he got from the host and audience... still, interesting to get an idea of how people are interpreting what he is saying though, I suppose. It's devastating to realise that we will never get to continue to see lectures/ talks/ further discussions with Mark. Can only hope that there are intellectuals out there that will continue to build upon and explore the foundations of his thought. Would give and arm and a leg for the oppurtunity to read Acid Communism. Rest in Peace, Mark...
Hello, and thanks for bringing this to our attention. The missing audio occurs from 59:10 to 59:46. Sadly, the original video that we archived has been deleted by the uploader; HO Gent. We will contact the uploader to try to recover the original, and will also investigate our own physical archive in the meantime to see if we can recover the missing audio. Thanks again.
justifiably, he was very nostalgic for the past and very nihilistic towards the future, as if everything was great when he was growing up, but the previous generation messed it all up and now the current generation need to fix it, why wouldn't he get back lash? I don't know if it ever occurred to him that most people view their childhood and teenage years though rose-tinted glasses.
@@darillus1I wouldnt say he was nostalgic towards the past. The only real positive he said about it was that it had a capacity to create new novel ideas and more vital art than the current era. And that's where the antagonism seemed to come from, a reluctance for the younger people in the audience to see or admit how the current cultural climate has stifled them. Which I think in some ways, ironically strengthens his arguments about capitalist realism. But if you do read his work or listen to some past lectures, he is very negative towards the culture of his youth. Especially towards the hippie leftists of the 70s. Also, given the facts of the day, I think its hard for anyone to not be nihilistic towards the future.
@@darillus1 personally, when the host asked him about resistance in the form of not answring an email or stuff like that i felt like crying, made me think about the system,s neatest trick
Literally! I was rather shocked because what fisher is suggesting is for their benefit for their liberation but their pride seems to cloud their sound judgement. James Baldwin put it this way “People are only ever as free as they want to be”
@@Kiara-d1olol. Right? This is technological nihilism, or “nihilism realized,” or the death of culture and people. In short. Not only are there no more “subjects” to concern yourself with. The machines can turn you off. You can’t turn them off though.
@@misterkefirI don’t think most of them are capable of his “more complex” thinking. I don’t think most westerners need or want to, either. They’ll take whatever is forced on them, with or without consent.
This lecture takes on a whole new dimension in the wake of brain rot and doom scrolling
One of Mark's best lectures in my opinion. Thank you for saving it!
You are welcome! Use it well.

Nobody is coming to help or save anyone, least of all “the youth.”
People who don’t read comments are screaming in a void of their own making
I read the comments, screaming persists. What do?
The questionnaire at the end was shockingly antagonistic.

That kid who mentioned Steve Jobs needs to listen to the behind the bastards episodes about him. He was indeed a bastard.
I think he gets breaking bad wrong here. Love him tho.
